Chinese Walnut Chicken
Chicken breasts strips are stir-fried with scallions, ginger and garlic, and seasoned with bourbon and soy sauce.Ingredients:
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 Tablespoon water
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into one-inch cubes
• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 Tablespoon bourbon
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 4 Tablespoons oil
• 3 whole scallions, cut into 2-inch slivers
• 2 slices fresh ginger, minced
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• Hot cooked rice
Method:
In a bowl, mix together cornstarch, water and egg white. Add chicken and toss until thoroughly mixed. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, bourbon and sugar. Set aside. Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water "skittles" across and evaporates immediately. Add 2 Tablespoons of oil, swirl, and add chicken. Quickly stir-fry 3 to 5 minutes or until no pink shows. Quickly remove from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-high and add the remaining oil to pan. Add scallions, ginger and garlic; stir-fry for 1 minute. Return chicken to pan. Add soy sauce/bourbon mixture and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in walnuts, mix well and serve with hot cooked rice.
Notes:
One tablespoon of bourbon is the secret ingredient in this recipe. But since nobody in our family drinks, I buy the smallest bottle of bourbon possible and keep it in my seasoning and flavoring cabinet among the vanilla extract, maple syrup and spice blends. It won't spoil and keeps forever.

My own favorite stir fry is sweet and sour Pork with noodles and lovely crispy vegetables.
Or if you are a vegetarian try Tofu instead of the pork.
Good Cooking.

It is raeally good to make stir fry with chicken, broccoli9depends on whether you like it or not) and vegetables, and some fried rice. Is is raelly satisfying and turns out well. you can also change the chicken for other meats(steak, beef, etc.)

Mix sliced or chopped vegetables (broccoli, onions, zucchini, anything) with chunks of chicken. Stir fry in dark sesame oil and hoisin sauce. Spicy and terrific.

I love it but when I make it at home I put everything I can think of in it and end up making a ton! I use broccoli, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, zucchini, carrots, onions and usually chicken. I just make a sauce of chicken broth and cornstarch and always use a lot of garlic.
